Quinoa & Black Bean Salad

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked quinoa

1 1/2 cups filtered water

1 15 oz. can organic black beans, drained and rinsed

3-4 green onions, green and white parts finely chopped

2 tablespoons canned diced green chilies

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced (optional)

1 bell pepper (color of your choice), diced

1/2 cup tomatoes, diced (I like to use cherry or grape tomatoes this time of year because they have the most flavor)

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 ripe avocado, diced (add right before serving if not serving immediately)

2 tablespoons of high quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, lemon juice or lime juice

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions:

Rinse quinoa in fine mesh strainer.
Bring water to a boil and then add rinsed quinoa. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
Let the quinoa cool for about 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, add quinoa. Fluff up with a fork.
Add all of the ingredients listed through the cilantro to the cooked quinoa.
Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Mix thoroughly and toss with EVOO and vinegar or citrus juice.
Add diced avocado when ready to serve. You may need to adjust the seasoning at this time.
